Your body is a machine that has certain needs—if you treat it well, it should be able to
serve you well. But what can you do to promote a fit and healthy body? A course in
physical education can show you. By definition, physical education is instruction in
exercise and physical activity. It teaches you how to maintain your personal fitness, how
to measure different aspects of physical fitness, and how to avoid injury while
exercising. It’s all about getting active and setting your body in motion. By measuring
health and fitness with objective data, it’s possible to improve your health in a
methodical way. Exercise helps you feel good about yourself and helps you sidestep the
health problems that often accompany poor levels of fitness.
